Big surprise, Harry Browne is distorting the truth.

The settlement in question, $54 million dollars, was paid out to 295,000 customers. Not the six secret service agents like the article implies.

Also interesting to note he omits one of the most famous incidents, which occured in 1997.


One of the most well-known cases was that of six Asian-Americans of Syracuse University. The students visited a Denny's restaurant late at night and waited over 30 minutes for service. As white patrons were regularly seated and waited on, these six students were kept waiting. When they complained, they were forcibly ejected from the establishment by two security guards. Outside, they were beaten by a mob of white customers that spilled out of the restaurant while guards stood by and did nothing. These six students were pushed, shoved, jeered, and racially insulted, and not a single law enforcer present did anything to stop it. Three black students were threatened with mace by guards when they attempted to aid the Asian-Americans. A white student accompanying the group was also threatened. Two of these students were knocked unconscious during the assault.

Did you know that "99% of Government programs are failures"?

I'd have to agree with him that this civil rights stuff has gone beserk in some respects.

But funny, isn't it, that he's not arguing for repealling the law.

I wonder why?
